Angkor Wat, Consciousness, and Universal Constants
Abstract
A study of the dowsable fields at the centre of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, (resulting
from the analysis of scientific measurements that are independently reproducible),
surprisingly results in the discovery of universal constants and precise relationships,
that not only reinforces the validity of the dowsing research techniques being adopted,
but also furthers the quest in understanding consciousness and the structure of the
universe.
Angkor Wat - Introduction
Angkor Wat, in Cambodia, is part of a complex of constructions comprising
numerous temples, with extensive irrigation canals, and lakes. The ‘site’ is about 40
miles wide and most of the temples are vast. The complex was built between 800AD
– 1,300 AD, mainly in sand stone. Appropriate adjectives include Enormous,
Impressive, Imposing, and Awesome. Unfortunately, centuries of neglect has resulted
in nature taking over, with the majority of the site being over-run by the jungle, so
that the trees merge with masonry. Fig 1 is an example of this, where the trees seem
to be living off the displaced masonry giving a very eerie feeling.
The Jungle

Figure 2 represents only a small part of the overall complex, and gives the layout of
some of the temples. The 2-mile scale at the bottom left gives an indication of the
vast sizes involved. Angkor Wat, the main temple, and the subject of this article, is
located at the bottom centre.

Figure 3, is a photograph of the main entrance taken by the author at a 6 am sunrise
whilst facing east, and illustrates the east-west orientation of the temple. Unlike most
of the rest of the site, as Angkor Wat has been a continuously active Buddhist temple,
the monks have kept the jungle out, and maintained the local site and buildings in an
excellent state of preservation.

Figure 4
Figure 4 is the same elevation at sun set, with the photographer again facing east in a
similar location. The photograph was taken at about 6 pm, so it took the author about
12 hours to walk around just this one temple. This gives an indication of the vastness.
Figure 5 is a plan of the main temple, Angkor Wat, – the subject of this paper. As is
apparent, the building is rectangular with an east - west main axis, and is surrounded
by a large rectangular moat. The scale at the bottom left shows that the distance is
about 1 mile from the main entrance on the left of Figure 5, to the east of the exit on
the right of the moat. Along the east-west centre-line, there is a dowsable linear field
along the whole of its length (over 1 mile long), together with a similar central north south dowsable line. As we will see, the “earth energies” are particularly interesting
where these two lines meet at the centre.
Of relevant general interest it is important to consider the local culture, and its
connection to “earth energies”. Because of Cambodia’s geographical location it is
influenced by both Indian and Chinese cultures. Angkor Wat has a strong Indian
Page 4 of 20
influence. Its builders wished to create an “open” design to encourage earth energies,
which was the philosophy adopted in Indian architecture. Hence, there are many long
dowsable lines, some greater than 1 mile. This contrasts to Chinese “closed”
architecture, where, for example, large thresholds are built at every internal and
external door entrance, to prevent earth energies from leaving or entering each room
or building. Anecdotal reasons are given that this Chinese philosophy keeps assets
and money from escaping!
Figure 5
It is apparent that the builders felt and understood these earth energy fields. This view
was reinforced by one of the local guides, who volunteered the information that his
family had lived in the area for over 500 years, and that feeling these fields was
normal. This is probably identical to European Stone Age man, who built their
numerous megalithic structures that produced similar fields.
As mentioned above, the point at the centre of the temple has very strong and easily
noticeable fields. Many people standing at this point are aware of strong sensations.
Rods or pendulums are not required to feel them! This is just one of many dowsable
fields, which we will now explore further.
The original builders of Angkor Wat must have known what dowsable fields they had
created, and inserted this small rectangular marker tile at this centre point, where the
east – west, and north – south lines mentioned earlier crossed. Figure 6 is a
photograph of this centre marker. It may be significant that the author took about 200
photos of Angkor Wat, all of which were crisp. This photograph is blurred. Either
there was camera shake from the effects of the field, or the fields were interfering
with the digital camera. However, as will be shown, this is beneficial in proving the
power of the technique adopted. As often in life, a negative can be turned in to a
positive.
Page 5 of 20
Photographs produce identical sensations, and can produce the same results, as
dowsing on site. (see Reference 1 page 236 ). Orientation of the photograph makes
no difference, nor does the fact that the photograph is blurred. In fact, this reinforces
the power of this technique of dowsing photographs; once again demonstrating that a
low bit density of information is sufficient for success. As we will see, what we are
utilising is a method of connecting the intent of the mind to the relevant part of the
Information Field that is holding information regarding Angkor Wat.
The Centre Marker Stone
Figure 6
Possibly the reason for the fields feeling so powerful, is that six interwoven dowsable
fields are present at this centre point, each with very different characteristics. This
can be confirmed by dowsing Figure 6, which gives identical results, on a one-to one
scale, as if the dowser was on-site. After asking “permission”, the intent is for the
mind to go back in time when the photograph was taken (about 2pm 8th February
2005), and to transpose the location of the mind of the observer to the centre of
Angkor Wat. The properties of each of these six fields are now discussed in turn.
1. Four lines N-S, E-W
The first of these 6 interwoven dowsable fields comprises the previously mentioned
linear fields in a north - south, and east – west direction. These are Type 1 fields,
which are usually associated with physical objects. In dowsing there are 4 types of
fields, each with very different properties (see Reference 1 page 219). As we will see,
Page 6 of 20
the 6 fields at Angkor Wat comprise 3 out of these 4 types. As illustrated in Fig 7,
there is an outward perceived flow from the centre. The length of these lines is about
250m, with a height of about 50 mm and a width of about 120 mm.
Four Lines N-S, E-W (Type 1)
Figure 7
2. Four diagonal lines
The second field, perceived to be emanating from the corners of the rectangular centre
tile are four diagonal lines, which also have an outward perceived flow, and are
depicted in Figure 8. Unlike the previous lines, these are Type 4 fields, which are
often associated with spiritual, prayer or mind generated actions (e.g. religious scrolls,
church altars, worshiped Buddha’s). (see Reference 1 page 229). These lines are also
about 250m long, but have a height of about 10 mm. and a width of about 10 mm.
Four Diagonal Lines (Type 4)
Figure 8

3. Conical Spiral - A
The third field, where the Type 1 lines in figure 7 intersect, appears as, a downward
flowing anti-clockwise spiral as shown in Figure 9, which is a cross-sectional
elevation through the main vertical axis. This is associated with the Type 1 lines.
Detecting this spiral is facilitated if intent is focussed by approaching the centre whilst
walking along any of the Type 1 lines. The spiral has an outer boundary of an
inverted cone, with its apex at the centre of the marker, where the Type 1 lines
intersect. This cone has a 19.5° half-angle, which is a very significant finding that
will be discussed later. The cone is about 7 metres high with a 5 metres diameter
base. The spiral is a Type 3 field. (see Reference 1 page 226).
Type 3 Conical Spiral (associated with Type 1 lines)
Figure 9
How does one obtain the above measurements? The angle of the cone is easily
measured by dowsing the conical envelope with a pencil on a sheet of paper supported
vertical on the axis of the spiral. One can then visualize the spiral from above,
looking down. Using the power of dowsing, it is possible to project the 3 dimensional
spiral onto a suitable flat surface, keeping the dimensions constant. As shown in
Figure 10, as usual there are 3.5 turns. It is then possible to measure the separation
distances between turns, and the diameter of the 2-D spiral on the ground.
Trigonometry can then be used to derive the height.

Plan of the Anti-clockwise Spiral
Figure 10
If we are being pedantic, this is not really a spiral, but more accurately a 3 –
Dimensional, 3.5 turns, Conical Helix. The flow is downwards, with a vertical return,
as shown in Figure 11.

Conical Spiral - B
Figure 12 illustrates an upward flowing clockwise spiral, which is associated with the
Type 4 lines discussed in section 2 above. To facilitate detection, intent can be
focussed by approaching the centre marker along any of the Type 4 lines. Again, the
envelope of the spiral is an inverted cone, which is concentric with the previous spiral,
also having its apex at the centre of the rectangular marker where the Type 4 lines
intersect. It too is a Type 3 spiral field. Significantly, there is an 11.5° half-angle,
which will be discussed later. The cone is 5.775 metres in height, with a 2.350 metres
base diameter. This spiral is smaller than the previous one, and sits inside the
previous one.

Figure 13 is an analysis of the turns in this spiral. The separation distances between
adjacent turns form a geometric series. (As is commonly found, a perturbation affects
the first and last term of the series. This may form an interesting subject for future
research).

Figure 15
As depicted in Figure 14, which is a plan of the pattern, there are a series of Type 3
spirals, which extend for about 250m along the entire length of each of the four Type
1 lines. These spirals all reflect the central spiral, with similar properties. Therefore,
Page 11 of 20
they are downward flowing anti-clockwise spirals with an inverted cone, all having
the same height, and having the same vertical cross-section as in Figure 9. It is the
same pattern for all four Type 1 lines.
Figure 15 shows the separation distances between successive spirals. As is apparent,
there is less of a preference for a geometric series, but a tendency for an arithmetic
constant of approximately 1.6 metres. I.e. each spiral is approximately 1.6 metres
from the previous spiral. The series of spirals have the same separation distances for
all four Type 1 lines. This is an example of reflections, or self-replicating geometry.
We will see later that this is a very important concept.
5. Series of Spirals - B
As illustrated in Figure 16, there exists a sixth field comprising a series of Type 3
spirals along the length of all four diagonal Type 4 lines. These spirals all reflect the
central spiral associated with the Type 4 lines, each with similar properties. i.e. they
are upward flowing clockwise spirals, with an inverted cone the apex of which
touches the Type 4 line on the ground, with a vertical cross-section the same as Figure
9. As before, the spirals extend along the whole length of the line, which is about
250m. All four Type 4 lines produce the same separation distances between adjacent
reflected spirals, which is summarised in Figure 17.
Geometric Series of Spirals along Type 4 Lines
Figure 16
The measurements demonstrate that this series of spirals on the diagonal lines is
different from the previous series of spirals. Unlike the spirals associated with the
Type 1 lines, there is less of a preference for an arithmetic series, but a stronger
tendency for a geometric constant of 1.281. i.e. adjacent spirals are approx 1.281
times the distance from the previous one. This is tantalising close to either 9/7 which
equals 1.2857 (the ratio of the number of aura reflections of Type 4 to Type 1 fields),
or to √φ which equals 1.2720. Measurements that are more independent are
obviously required to prove if one of these universal constants is indeed applicable, or
if the result is merely a coincidence.

Summary of Conclusions
Numerous conclusions can be drawn from the above observations.
numbered for ease of reference.
These are
1. Once again, there is confirmation of the power of using the technique of
dowsing in the scientific study of consciousness, for establishing relationships,
and in the search for universal constants.
2. The validity of dowsing relevant photographs is again well demonstrated.
Even blurred photos, or ones with a low bit density, or black and white
photographs, or digital photos with few pixels.
3. Spirals are very common in dowsing. They usually have a conical envelope
and a vertical axis. The latter suggests that gravity is involved.
4. Although the configuration of dowsable fields found at Angkor Wat may be
unique, scientific measurements show that the individual linear and spiral field
components are very common, and are the same as can be found on most
European ancient sites and substantial buildings.
5. The preference for arithmetic series in Type 1 fields (associated with physical
bodies), and geometric series in Type 4 fields (associated with mind and
vortex generated activities) is consistent with other reported general
observations and laboratory experiments.
6. We have examples of self replicating geometry, repeating patterns, or
reflections.

7. It cannot be co-incidence that key angles have been found, which as we will
see have a more general universal significance. An introduction to the
geometry of these angles is shown in Figures 18.
Universal Constants
Up to now, we have talked about Angkor Wat. It is about time we discussed the other
subjects in the title of this article – consciousness, and universal constants. So let us
start with the 19.5° half-angle. To a higher level of accuracy, this angle is 19.471°.
Figure 18a shows how one may get this angle?
Key Angles

Figure 18a
Traditionally, if the reader prefers Geometry, then Pythagoras theorem applies to the
angle 19.471°, which occurs in a basic right-angled triangle with sides:
1:3:2*√2.
Personally, the author cannot get too excited about √2, as this is an irrational number
going to infinity and difficult to comprehend.
Alternatively, as we will discover, it is more useful if Trigonometry is preferred, as
we are dealing with a real, small, and tangible number : 3. So, 19.471° is the angle
that has a sine of 1/3.
Let us now look at the next number, 11.5°. To a higher level of accuracy, this angle is
11.537°. How does one get this angle? Again, using Pythagoras theorem we have a
right-angled triangle as in Figure 18b with sides:
1:5:2*√2* √3
However, we now have two irrational number to comprehend √2 and √3
But using Trigonometry we have a simple number: 5. So, 11.537° is the angle that
has a sin of 1/5.

In reality, there are more than 2 concentric conical spirals. One can dowse an ever

sine of 1/7.

There are 2 important points to remember here. There is a series of:
1. angles whose sine’s are the reciprocal of the odd numbers 3, 5, 7, 9,……
ie arc sine 1/3, 1/5, 1/7, 1/9, and so on.
2. cones, which are the third example in this article of reflections, or selfreplicating, or fractal geometry.
More about both of these points later
Two other “universal angles” are:
54.735°
35.264°
These two angles are complementary as they add up to 90°. There is a relationship
between these two angles and 19.471°, which is relevant to the wider scientific
significance of these conclusions:
35.264° = (90° - 19.471°)/2
54.735° = (90° + 19.471°)/2
We now have four universal constants, 19.471°, 11.537°, 35.264°, and 54.735°. Even
a cursory internet search of academic papers (eg using Google Scholar) gives
numerous other examples where these angles occur. Diverse topics range from
columnar vortices; cosmology; Ampere and dipole force laws and null-points; static
and dynamic studies of polyhedral structures, vortices, and torroids; astronomical
events on the surfaces of Jupiter and Saturn; flight dynamics; chemistry and molecular
Page 15 of 20
structures; fluid dynamics, including bow waves and the Kelvin Wedge; climate
studies; aging bone studies; cognitive behaviour; statistical analysis of the size of
birds; quantum mechanics for spin ½ particles in a magnetic field; etc.
The obvious conclusion is that dowsing is just as valid in broad scientific research, as
any other discipline. We obtain the same universal constants.
Cause of Dowsable Fields
So what causes these observed dowsable fields at Angkor Wat? Often ancient sites
are located over intersecting underground watercourses, which were the cause of
spirals and other dowsable fields. These fields were perceived by the site’s builders,
as preferred locations for their constructions, which would become enhanced by the
effects of these dowsable fields.
However, in this instance the reverse seems to apply. Although there is much water
integral to the Angkor Wat complex, all the fields discussed in this paper were not
present prior to the site’s construction. A non-controversial reason, one of several
that supports this statement, is that all the “energy lines” are straight. Natural “energy
lines” meander. Additionally, dowsing the age of the spirals gives a date after the
construction of Angkor Wat.
One thing is for sure, the builders of Angkor Wat would not have known the finer
points of trigonometry and mathematical universal constants, nor did they set out to
achieve the geometry and patterns discussed in this article. It is apparent though, that
they knew, in common with numerous other civilisations in the ancient world, that
certain buildings produce significant “sensations” and “energy lines” that could
readily be felt by the populous. This would enhance the power and influence of the
temples, rulers, and priests, over and above the impact of awesome monumental
structures, without the dowsable fields.
So where do these dowsable fields come from? This research work supports the
theory that these dowsable fields are a natural result of the interaction of the geometry
of the architecture, and the physical presence of matter (such as sand-stone masonry
and water lagoons) with a universal field. The latter concept has numerous names
ranging from the Akashic Record from thousands of years ago, to the Zero Point
Field, the Information Field, or more recently, the Cosmic Internet.
This paper therefore adds yet more evidence of the commonality between the
structure of the universe, geometry in general and polyhedral and vortex structures in
particular. Research also indicates that all of these concepts, link in with the latest
findings in quantum theory, with universal connectivity, entanglement, and
consciousness. This helps to explain local and remote dowsing, map dowsing, remote
healing, telepathy, and other associated phenomena.
Holographic Universe
Let us drill down a bit deeper into the above concepts. General research by many
people in different disciplines comes to the same conclusion that we live in an
information orientated holographic Universe.
The Information Field stores
Page 16 of 20
information similar to a hologram. The most famous property of holograms is that
any part of a hologram stores the entire image. A good demonstration illustrating that
dowsing may be linked to holograms, is to slice off a small piece of the photograph of
the centre marker. On dowsing the latter, one obtains exactly the same effect as the
whole photograph, ie the same fields and measurements are obtained as in this article.
How does the Information Field form Conical Helices?
An obvious question to ask is how does the Information Field form conical helices?
There are 2 considerations
1. Spirals
2. Cones
Let us look at each separately, but first we also need to consider a torus.
A Torus
Figure 19
Figure 19 is a representation of a 3-D torus, or popularly known as a doughnut, or
bagel shape. In the model about to be developed, let us assume that these
infinitesimally small quantum tori are spinning like vortices to form the Information
Field, analogous to a “quantum foam”.
A Torus can spin or rotate in 3 different ways:1. If, for example, it is flexible, or a fluid, or an energy field it can roll in and out
on itself. Analogies of this could be smoke rings, vortices in a tornado, or
water flowing down a plughole.
2. It can rotate about a vertical axis, so it appears to remain in the same place.
3. It can rotate about a horizontal axis like a paddle wheel.
Combining motions 1 and 2 above, and visualising a point on the surface, produces a
circular spiral.
In order to illustrate how it is possible to produce a cone, let us consider a torus where
the hole in the centre has the same diameter as the thickness of the torus. Figure 20
represents a cross-section through the centre of our special torus, where each
component has a radius (a), and diameter (2a).

Consider a cone that
• has a slope length equal to the radius of the torus (3a)
• and just fits into the centre hole of the torus, so it has a base radius (a).
This cone has a half angle whose sine is 1/3. This represents the first spiral of 19.5°.

Let us now add another torus of the same thickness as the previous, but fits round the
first torus. This is depicted in Figure 21. A cone that
• has a base equal to the diameter of the centre hole of the first torus, (i.e. it has
a radius (a) as before.)
• and a slope length equal to the radius of the combined torus (5a).
This cone has a half angle whose sine is 1/5, and represents the second spiral, of
11.5°.
Interestingly, if one torus is rotating in one direction the other rotates in the opposite
direction. This may explain alternate spirals being clockwise and anti-clockwise.

Let us introduce a third torus, that fits round the other 2, as illustrated in Figure 22. A
cone that has a base equal to the centre hole of the original torus, and a slope length
equal to the radius of the 3 combined tori, has a half angle whose sine is 1/7. This
represents the third spiral, of 8.2°.
As before, each torus is rotating in opposite directions, and as before, this could
explain alternate spirals in the series being clockwise and anti-clockwise. This model
of additional tori can obviously be extended to explain other cones in the series.
Although this is not a proof of the structure of the Information field, it may be a good
analogy or hint that the Information Field comprises vortices and spinning tori. As
gravity is involved, maybe part of the Information Field is appropriately aligned so
that the vortices produce cones with vertical axes.
The next obvious question is why should cones at the quantum level appear 7 metres
tall in our minds? The mechanism for this could be yet another example of fractal
geometry, whereby phenomena at the micro and quantum level become reproduced at
the macro level.
String Theory has long had problems in providing tangible scientific measurements,
and explaining the structure of the universe. Instead of vibrating strings, it may well
prove fruitful to further develop the “Spinning Bagel Theory”
In conclusion, there are two sobering thoughts.
1.
It is not Angkor Wat that has produced these findings. The same conclusions
could be derived from most dowsable sites, anywhere in the world.
2. With just a pair of bent coat hangers, a blurred photo of an old stone, and
dowsing, we are working at the cutting edge of fundamental scientific
research.
We are indeed living in exciting times.

Further Research
Set out below are suggested areas for further research.
1. There is the general motivation to hunt for other universal constants using the
proven technique of dowsing to further the study of consciousness.
2. What causes the differences between the four field types, and what is their origin?
3. What is the nature of the linear and spiral fields that have a perceived “flow”?
4. Where does all the “flow” outwards from the centre come from and go to?
5. Is energy involved, or is a potential difference being detected?
6. When measuring the turns of spirals or their separation distances, what causes the
perturbations to a simple mathematical progression?
7. What is the minimum number of pixels in a dowsable photograph?
8. What is the connection between vortices of tori, and the holographic storage of
information in the Information Field?
9. Is mass required for the Infformation Fiwld to store information?
As always, there are more queries than answers!
